Have a sinking feeling poor Lions fans are gonna have their hearts ripped out

45 yard FG gives you a 3 score lead

but they got the look they wanted Goff bought time & made a good throw

OK D one more time here

Dude, this is awful, how do you not take the FG try there and make it 3 scores, involving two-2 pt conversions along the way, possiibly, I mean you gotta kick that FG

-I'm speechless

75 percent success rate on the FG
Campbell goes for it everytime there. It was not even close.

 

[travdogg]

Devil's advocate a little, but that FG was no gimme, and the play they called worked other than the ball being caught. Outcome sucks, but process was right in my eyes, especially as its Campbell's DNA to go for it, and the Lions aren't here without that attitude.

 

[jobarules]

Campbell going for it on 4th when they could've went up 3 scores is insanity but it seems that's the only way 49ers can stop Detroit

 

[beef]

Nice job, boobs for hands Reynolds.

 

[Jayded]

I’d wish collapse on many teams ; the Lions aren’t one of them. Without a dog in this fight, I hope we get a good finish.

 

[irish eyes]

This is why you should have kicked it.

Exactly, just stupid & arrogant

 

[Todem]

Hindsight is 20/20. I don’t hate the decision

It wasn't horrible but this is the ****ing NFCC.

You need to take your points!!!! 3 score game again and this is now a 10 point swing.

So yeah bad decision tactically.

Probably right

I agree, but given the lack of conversion and flukey Aiyuk catch- it looks like a much worse decision because worst case scenario happened

 

[identikit]

Campbell sure does his best to keep the games close, doesn't he?

 

[jrt103]

Have a sinking feeling poor Lions fans are gonna have their hearts ripped out

its ok, we're used to it

if we lose, that non FG attempt will be talked about for YEARS

 

[travdogg]

Well, ****

 

[Wingnut]

I expect SF to win this one, and am looking forward to some good meathead moments from campbell

Not kicking the FG was definitely one.

 

[jon_mx]

Holy ceap...the Lions are getting rattled.

I love coaches being aggressive but to me there’s a difference here as it was obviously a huge momentum swing if they don’t get it.

 

[dickey moe]

Oh come on, Lions. Complete collapse.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

 

[Witz]

 

[jobarules]

Momentum officially shifted. Keep going for it on 4th down knucklehead!

 

[WDIK2]

WTF?

 

[The General]

Oh no

 

[Insein]

Dear God.

 

[jrt103]

amazing

You're saying 4th down was better odds than a 45-yd FG? Up 14 points and a chance to make it 3 scores with less than 20 minutes left in the game?
Was not sure I understood your post

Completely

Part of their identity, it's who they are.

Cherry picking these decisions is really dumb.

 

[unckeyherb]

Omg

 

[Osaurus]

Yikes

 

[Long Ball Larry]

TAKE THE POINTS DAN

They’re not free. You have to make the kick. I’m not sure the probability of Badgley from 45 is that much better than the Lions converting 4th and 2.

Historically badgley is like 70-75% from 45 yds.

Picking up the 4th and 2 is maybe like 55%.

Then what is the chance of scoring a TD and/or kicking a closer FG and how much does being up 17 increase your chances of winning vs being up 21.

Anyway, fumble lions. Goddammit.

Jesus.......you gotta protect the ****ing football

 

[Gachi]

What a turn of events.

Sweet hopping jeebus on a pogo stick

 

[Mt. Man]

Did I mention that 3rd quarters have been bad for the Lions? >.<

 

[karl.Racki]

[The Frankman]

something something take the points something

 

[ChicoCat]

For want of a 4th Down Conversion....The Kingdom Was Lost.

 

[Wingnut]

Hey hey now

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

That catch was crazy.

What a bad throw by Brock.

Cmon defense!

 

[jon_mx]

Time for the Lions to buckle up and play some ball.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

You're still up 7. Just get a stop to stanch the bleeding.

 

[unckeyherb]

About to be tied.

 

[FarFromHome]

The pain of a Lions fan is real.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

YES!!!!!

 

[Wingnut]

Tie game on deck?

 

[RenegadeRoy]

Lions D needs to take it back, ideally on one of these Purdy ducks.

Cherry picking a 45-yf FG attempt up 14 in the NFCC


You did say cherry picking? OMG, awesome sauce, I love it
We could not be more 180 on that one

 

[Major]

As an Oilers/Texans homer, I feel for Lions fans. I couldn't take watching this. It's still early so I hope you guys get it together.

Disagree - you’re the underdog and on the road. You knew SF would come out with their best shot in the 2nd half. You held them to a FG and then took time off the clock and could get that 17 point lead back. Them not getting the 1st down gave all the momentum to San Fran.
